Search for Common Ground (Search) in partnership with Acacia Mining conducted a 20-month project in Northern Tanzania. The project, “Let’s Join Hands for Development” (Tuunganishe Mikono Kwa Maendeleo Yetu) was designed and implemented to promote positive long-term relationships between the community, decision-makers and Acacia at local and district levels.

This is a report of a learning assessment, which took a critical view of the project’s activities to assess their relevance, effectiveness, impact and sustainability with an aim toward improving Search Tanzania’s Sustainable Business Practices (SBP) programming going forward.
